with updated images taken in the OR, so they're
fusing one data set with another, says Dr.
Tempany-Afdhal. "The technologies are becoming
very exciting, with lots of experts working on
innovating imaging's potential."
She says more surgeons are basing their move-
ments on 3D maps of a patient's specific anatomy
to see what they need to resect, ablate or treat,
marking a huge advantage over 2D white-light sur-
face views.
Dr. Tempany-Afdhal is certain that enhanced real-
time imaging will allow for a more personalized
approach to patient care. "Instead of storing images
in a file back at the surgeon's office or displaying
them in a view box in the back of the OR, they're
used in real time," she explains. "You don't treat
every patient the same way. You treat them based
on their specific anatomy and condition. The whole
approach is changing."
The aim is to improve surgical outcomes —
total cancer removal, total tissue resection — in a
quicker, safer, more effective way, according to
Dr. Tempany-Afdhal. "There's lots of ongoing
research trying to show that improved imaging
accomplishes those goals," she says.
Streaming images to recording devices lets sur-
geons use images before, during and after surgery,
says Dr. Tempany-Afdhal, who notes that although
sensitivities surrounding HIPAA concerns need to
be properly managed, recording intraoperative
